SoC page insurrection! Idea details needed, please read.

[Dan Kegel]

Looking at our Summer of Code ideas page,
I realized it was getting dense and unruly,
so I and Maarten moved it off to the side
and did a simpler one; see
http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode

The DirectX stuff in particular could use some
more detail; could the knowledgeable people flesh it out?

Also each idea should probably have a sponsor
the students could turn to for ideas.  I've put a
few obvious ones in, but it'd be nice if each one
was claimed.

Thanks,
Dan

Unfortunately I am unable to sponsor my own idea (Case-insensitive
FUSE), since I'm not too involved with Wine's C code.

Could someone else please volunteer to mentor the project if it gets
accepted by Google?

Thanks,

If anyone takes this up, we might see about expanding it to include
better support for FUSE iso mounted filesystems. Currently when you
use fuse to mount an iso image, you have to manually configure a fake
drive letter. It would be nice if we could query the loaded fuse
module for a listing of mounted iso images and automatically create
fake cdrom devices.

I'm planning on applying for the FUSE project. I guess there are a lot
of possibilities on this area. I have some experience on implementing
FUSE filesystems with python and C. I'll post some ideas in a couple
of days.
